VISUAL DESCRIPTION
This is a vintage poster advertising "London's Tramways" with an illustration promoting polo matches at Avery Hill. The image features two polo players in the midst of a game, energetically pursuing a ball. They are mounted on galloping horses, one horse predominantly white and the other red, both adorned with protective gear around their legs. The riders are depicted in traditional polo attire wielding long mallets.
The text on the poster reads: "POLO AT AVERY HILL MONDAY, WEDNESDAY & FRIDAY AFTERNOONS BY TRAMWAY TO ELTHAM." This suggests that there were regular polo events taking place three times a week at Avery Hill which could be reached conveniently via tramway service to Eltham. The design of this poster is characteristic of early 20th-century graphic art used for public transportation and event advertisements in London.
